Jersey Boys Jihadi

The good guys have rounded up a bunch of wannabe jihadis in New Jersey:

Six men from New Jersey have been charged in an alleged terror plot against soldiers at Fort Dix, according to law enforcement sources.

Investigators said the men planned to use automatic rifles to enter Fort Dix and kill as many soldiers as they could at the New Jersey military base. Fort Dix was just one of several military and security locations allegedly scouted by this group, authorities said.

The suspects, identified as Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka, Mohamad Shnewer, Derdar Tatar and Agron Abdullahu, have been charged with conspiring to kill U.S. government employees. Separately, the Duka brothers have been charged with being illegal aliens in possession of firearms.

The Dukas, believed to be Islamic radicals, are in the United States illegally, while Shnewer is a U.S. citizen born in Jordan, according to the Justice Department.

The U.S. Attorney's office has told NewsChannel 4 that one of the suspects was born in Turkey and four in the former Yugoslavia. Investigators said most of the suspects have spent several years in the United States.

So why Fort Dix?

Sources told NewsChannel 4's Brian Thompson that the family of one of the suspects owns Super Mario's Pizza, a restaurant near Fort Dix, and that the suspect claimed to know the base "like the back of his hand." The same suspect told the alleged terror group it would be easy to penetrate to "get the most soldiers killed," sources said.

Your jihad delivered in 30 minutes or less or it's FREE! Those folks won't be able to give that pizza away after this.

Lots of lessons here, such as reemphasizing the importance of border control, and staying alert for suspicious activity. These guys were apparently caught when they tried to get their homemade jihad tape transferred to DVD. Nice work by the photo store.

These guys have been described as "recent converts" to Islam. When people become "recent converts" to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, or the ism of your choice, how many of those people suddenly feel the need to kill lots of unbelievers?
